Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 334 A New Deal with Tarachin
Zaratusa was unaware that before he had fully awakened, his dynasty had already been ravaged.

The battle within the Hades system continued for another half month, and on Ixos, the battle between the Terrans and the Zerg intensified.

The Tyranids are constantly evolving and adapting, while the Zerg are continuously acquiring the Tyranids' genetic sequences and biomass to grow stronger and more powerful.

The number of units that die on both sides every day is unknown.

Meanwhile, in the city of Fodia...

The unmanned ravens constantly circling around the starport are acting as anti-stealth units to ensure that the area is not attacked by Licarta.

No one knows if any remnants of the Tyranids remain on this planet.

These AI-equipped autonomous drones can deploy widow mines, guard turrets, and launch missiles that can autonomously track enemies. Most importantly, they possess reconnaissance and anti-stealth capabilities.

However, Licat didn't detect him, but he did detect an unexpected person.

That was Tarahim's clone.

He continued to travel through dimensions, and when he briefly emerged from one dimension, he also noticed the raven overhead.

In the transmitted footage, Gao Yi even saw Tarachin waving at the ravens.

It was as if she was greeting Gao Yi.

"Tarasin, what's this guy doing here?!"

As Taracin made his move, Raven's server system was hacked and sent back a message in High Gothic language.

"Lord Gao Yi, do you still remember our agreement to meet? Our last transaction went very well, and I think we will have more opportunities to cooperate here. I have no ill intentions, but I think we need to have a meeting."

Looking at the communication sent by Tarasin, Gao Yi was also impressed by the guy's special nature. He hadn't expected that Tarasin would also come to the Hades system.
Gao Yi glanced back at Dante, who was discussing strategic arrangements with Mellen, but did not tell him of Tarachin's arrival.

Gao Yi walked out of the command post and headed towards a mechanical workshop of the Holy Machine Order.

After dismissing the craftsmen and priests in the workshop, Tarachin tore open a dimension and stepped out.

Gao Yi wore a smile, and Tarasin's metallic face seemed to be smiling as well.

Although we had crossed paths before, this was indeed our first face-to-face meeting.

"Lord Gao Yi, I have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. But what is the meaning of you bringing these guards? Do you not trust me? When did you humans start to like cooperating with aliens?"

As soon as Tarasin finished speaking, ghosts and Black Templars emerged from their stealth within the workshop, with Zeratul standing directly behind Tarasin and holding a psionic blade to his neck.

Meanwhile, the Night Guards and Blood Ravens who were waiting outside filed in, countless weapons aimed at Talassin.

However, Tarachin paid no attention to this deadly threat.

Gao Yi wasn't surprised that Tarasin could detect the ghosts and hidden blades around him; this guy had just too many good things on him.

Even though Gao Yi felt that the other party would not try to kill him, he still summoned these stealth units just to be on the safe side.

"Zeratul, put away your light blades, Damon, Gabriel, put down your weapons."

Gao Yi knew that this was just a clone of Taraxin, and that the other party would never come to see him in his true form.

"Tarasin, tell me, what do you want with me?"

"Have you forgotten our agreement? You promised me that, and while I've come to thank you, I've also come to explore new opportunities for cooperation. I must say, with you around, we really do find a lot of good things! That Four Gods' Chosen is one of the best items in my collection." "The Chosen? You've got Abaddon in your collection?!"

Only now did Gao Yi understand why Abaddon could never be found again after the Battle of Cardia.

Poor Brother Dun, after a lifetime of military service, he ended up like this.
"Yes, it's a pity. I thought the other side would fight to the death, and collecting the scene along with it would be more valuable. But who would have thought that the other side would retreat? This has greatly reduced its value."

"Aren't you really afraid that the Four Gods will use him as an anchor point and destroy your museum? Tell me, what do you want to trade?"

“I will never again place him with my other collections. Your human St. Gestapo bell has made a mess of my museum.”

When the Qadia War began, the great bell rang again, transcending time and space. The power released by the bell, imbued with the Emperor's divine power, caused a large number of artifacts in the Tarasin Museum to go out of control.

The problem was so serious that Taracin deliberately threw this rather decent piece of his collection into the net.

Hearing Taraxin's description of the collaboration, Gao Yi also became interested...

If cooperation with the Necromancers of the cosmos is truly necessary, Tarasin is clearly a more suitable candidate than Zaratuza or Anlakel.

"Cooperation? What help can you offer me at a time like this, Tarachin? Or what do you want from me? I don't believe you would give anything for no reason. You're not that kind."

Upon hearing Gao Yi's words, Tarasin became less shy and took the SCV he had sealed in his hands.

The moment Gao Yi saw the SCV, he knew Tarasin's purpose.

SCVs are useful to Gao Yi, and even more so to a purely mechanical race like the Space Necromancers.

Although the space necromancers have achieved immortality in a sense, they are not truly immortal, and their physical bodies are still subject to decay.

“Tell me how it works. In all my years of existence, I have never seen such a creation. I even believe it does not come from this world. The power it displays transcends the laws of the physical world and the highest heavens. If you are willing, I can give you a technology that utilizes the energy of stars.”

Upon hearing Taracin say that he was not from this world, Gao Yi's nerves tightened.

I have a feeling that Tarachin in front of me knows something.
Seeing Tarasin's glowing green eyes flicker, Gao Yi knew that his slight loss of composure had been noticed.
Taraxin also keenly sensed Gao Yi's almost imperceptible loss of composure.

However, compared to Gao Yi's shock, Tarasin was even more surprised.

He had only made a bold guess, but he actually guessed right!

Looking at SCV, even if Gao Yi wanted to use it as a bargaining chip, he couldn't do it, as SCV relied entirely on the system.

Gao Yi was also somewhat tempted by the items Taraxin was offering for trade.

The magnificent prism of the Hades galaxy is, after all, only one.
If we can build two more machines to connect the energy sources of several star systems near Char, then the energy problem after the synaptic condenser will no longer be a concern.

"Stellar technology? You mean the magnificent prism on Tartarus?! That should be one of your creations, right?"

"You already knew? Although I don't know how you found out, it certainly saves me the time of explaining. How about it? It's not just an energy source, it's also a weapon. As long as you're willing to sacrifice some of your kind, the problems in this galaxy will be solved very quickly."

I will tell you how to use this creation to achieve weaponization.

Tarasin's tone was seductive; in his eyes, normal humans would not refuse, and sacrificing these people to achieve strategic goals was commonplace in the Empire.

After all, the Empire was even willing to issue extermination orders to hundreds of planets to create firebreaks in order to change the direction of the hive tentacles, so a Hades system was nothing to them.

If Gao Yi refuses, he is prepared to offer even more in exchange.
